That's not a very accurate assessment of what the radar will do. From what I understand it will negate an enemies ability to fully utilize their radars range and scanning through some type of electro-magnetic beam focused towards the emitter. It's expected to be able to negate any accurate tracking of the enemy emitter. I'm sure there may be some drawbacks to it's uses, but combined with the other stuff in the F-35 package, I expect it to just be another tool in the basket for this aircraft. If you can negate an enemy radar to a certain extent, it gives you a pretty sizeable advantage.
